Name That Black Hole I Vote For Holey McHoleface

I'm sure all of you have seen the first ever photo of a black hole (well, the event horizon actually, but why nitpick) which according to an article in sciencealert.com, astronomers have unofficially designated M87*. However they have also collaborated with a Hawaiian language professor who has proposed a slightly more poetic sounding Hawaiian word as it's new name. That word is Powehi with its somewhat ominous sounding definition being, "embellished dark source of unending creation". Personally, with a definition like that, I would think there'd have to be a very interesting story behind the origin of that word.
Nonetheless, as for me I still prefer Holey McHoleface.

Primum Tempus

“The big butthole” in the spirit of sciencey people using “the Big Bang” as a simple word to let simpletons know where Sh it came from.

I'd name it mosquito bite because they suck and are the result of sucking.

They've already named it Brexit in the UK.

How about Cornell Blackhole. There's a petition in Seattle to name it after the late Chris Cornell, who sang "Black hole sun" back in the day.



btw, I like the name Kevin...seems like there was some hubub a while back about the Catholic Church revealing the true name of God...as Kevin. lol.
